I think you can find all the elements that you can find in great literature in mundane experiences.

I think the great artists, especially in literature, have always thought with the heart.

I concentrate, more than I think virtually any comic book artist has in the past, on the so-called mundane details of every day life - quotidian life. What happens to a person during a working day, marital relations, and stuff like that.

I think Maus I is better than Maus II. The standard here is whether or not it's as good as a great book of prose literature and by that standard, no, it's not that great.

The myth that everyone once read great literature is just a myth.
